Pt-Ru supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (single-walled nanotubes, double-walled nanotubes (DWNTs), and multi-walled nanotubes) catalysts are prepared by an ethylene glycol reduction method. Pt-Ru nanoparticles with a diameter of 2-3 nm and narrow particle size distributions are uniformly deposited onto the CNTs. A simple and fast filtration method followed by a hot-press film transfer is emp...

The present article deals with a newer class of ligand bridged asymmetric complexes incorporating ancillary ligands (AL) with varying electronic characteristics: [(bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-)) Ru(II)(bpy)2](ClO4)2·([1](ClO4)2); [(pap)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(II)(pap)2](ClO4)2 ([2](ClO4)2); [(bpy)2Ru(II)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(II)(pap)2](ClO4)2 ([3](ClO4)2); [(acac)2Ru(III)(μ-HL(2-))Ru(III)(acac)2] (4) and [(bpy)2Ru(I...

In this data article we describe synthetic and characterisation data for four members of the 5-acyl-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine (termed "RU-SKI") class of inhibitors of Hedgehog acyltransferase, including associated NMR spectra for final compounds. RU-SKI compounds were selected for synthesis based on their published high potencies against the enzyme target. RU-SKI 41 (9a), RU-SKI 43 (9b),...

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, Ru(3)(CO)(9)(μ-Ph(2)AsCH(2)AsPh(2))(P[OCH(CH(3))(2)](3)) or [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(9)H(21)O(3)P)(CO)(9)], contains two mol-ecules of the triangulo-triruthenium complex. The bis-(diphenyl-arsanyl)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphite ligand binds to the third Ru atom. Both the arsine and phosphite l...

A high-temperature and high-pressure flow-reactor system was applied to the synthesis of monometallic ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles and platinum/ruthenium (Pt/Ru) bimetallic nanoparticles using the thermal reduction of ruthenium ion (Ru(III)) and the mixture of platinum (Pt(IV)) and ruthenium ions in water and ethanol mixture in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone). Monometallic Ru nanopa...

Carbon monoxide oxidation over ruthenium catalysts has shown an unusual catalytic behavior. Here we report a particle size effect on CO oxidation over Ru nanoparticle (NP) catalysts. Uniform Ru NPs with a tunable particle size from 2 to 6 nm were synthesized by a polyol reduction of Ru(acac)(3) precursor in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) stabilizer. The measurement of catalytic activity...

We report the successful use of Ru(II)(terpy)(2) (1, terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) as a catalyst in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) oscillating chemical reaction. We also examine several additional Ru(II) complexes, Ru(II)(bipy)(2)(L')(2) (2, L' = 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid; bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and Ru(II)(bipy)(2)(L'') (3, L'' = 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipy; 4, L'' = N-allyl-4'-methyl-[2,2'-bip...

In the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(6)H(6))(C(19)H(17)P)], the Ru(II) atom has a distorted pseudo-octa-hedral coordination environment with the metrical parameters around the metallic core as Ru-centroid(η(6)-benzene) = 1.6894 (11) Å, Ru-P = 2.3466 (6), Ru-Cl(avg.) = 2.4127 (7) Å; Cl-Ru-Cl = 88.07 (2) and Cl-Ru-P = 82.77 (2), 87.65 (2)°. The effective cone angle for the benzyl-diphenyl-phosphane ...

In the title compound, [Ru(3)(C(6)H(12)Cl(3)O(3)P)(C(29)H(30)P(2))(CO)(9)], the bis-(di-o-tolyl-phosphan-yl)methane ligand bridges one Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphite ligand bonds to the third Ru atom. Both ligands are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) triangle. Each Ru atom bears one equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rin...

Diaminostannylenes react with [Ru(3)(CO)(12)] without cluster fragmentation to give carbonyl substitution products regardless of the steric demand of the diaminostannylene reagent. Thus, the Sn(3)Ru(3) clusters [Ru(3){μ-Sn(NCH(2)(t)Bu)(2)C(6)H(4)}(3)(CO)(9)] (4) and [Ru(3){μ-Sn(HMDS)(2)}(3)(CO)(9)] (6) [HMDS = N(SiMe(3))(2)] have been prepared in good yields by treating [Ru(3)(CO)(12)] with an ...
